We’ve been talking about Cosplay Chess 2012 for awhile now, and we’re glad to announce that we’ll be holding auditions for this year’s epic clash in about a week’s time!

This year, we’ll be pitting everyone’s favorite comic-book heroes and villains, computer game, movie and pop-culture protagonists against their anime and manga counterparts in a titanic battle that’s set to determine, once and for all, whether East or West’s best.

If you’re interested in being a part of Cosplay Chess 2012, be sure to put the following details down in your planner:

You’ll also need to download this form (it’s got all the information you’ll need), complete it, and either mail it to us or submit it by hand at the venue (and if you’re under the age of 18, you’ll need the consent of your parent or guardian).

Let’s make it a date next Sunday, cosplay friends! We’ll see you at the auditions!
